01

My headphones are six years old, and honestly, that's the flex.

02

The cushions are worn into the exact shape of my ears at this point.

03

Three phones have come and gone since I bought them. They outlasted all of it.

04

And I still can't find a single real reason to replace them. So I won't.

The rest of the shelf
